GDPR & CCPA Privacy Policy

Your Privacy: Keeping Things Personal (Like My Recipes)

Hey there! Welcome to my kitchen. At Easy Solo Recipes, I believe that feeding yourself well is an act of care—and that extends to how I handle your personal information. Trust is the most important ingredient in any relationship, and I want you to feel completely safe while you’re here looking for your next favorite dinner.

This policy explains how I collect, protect, and use your data, specifically keeping in mind your rights under the GDPR (for my friends in Europe) and the CCPA (for my neighbors in California).

1. What Information I Collect (And Why)

I only collect what I absolutely need to make your experience better.

  • Personal Details: If you sign up for my newsletter or leave a comment, you might give me your name and email address. I use this to send you recipes or reply to your questions.
  • Usage Data: My site automatically gathers tiny bits of info like your IP address, browser type, and which recipes you spend the most time on. This helps me figure out if you all prefer “Air Fryer” meals or “One-Pot” pastas so I can make more of them!
  • Cookies: Think of these as my “kitchen helpers.” They are small files that remember your preferences (like if you prefer the site in dark mode) so you don’t have to reset them every time you visit.

2. Your Rights (The “Respect” Part)

Whether you are in the EU (GDPR) or California (CCPA), I respect your right to control your data. At any time, you can reach out to me to:

  • See your data: Ask for a copy of what I have on file for you.
  • Fix your data: Ask me to update or correct your info.
  • Delete your data: Ask me to “forget” you and erase your info from my records.
  • Opt-out: You can unsubscribe from my emails with one click at the bottom of any newsletter.

3. Sharing Your Data (The “No-Sell” Promise)

I want to be 100% clear: I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. I’m here to share recipes, not data.

I only share information with a few hand-picked, trusted partners who help me keep this site running (like my email service or website host). They are bound by strict rules to keep your info private.

4. Data Security

I take your security seriously. I use industry-standard encryption and secure servers to protect your data. While no system on the internet is 100% “un-hackable,” I do everything in my power to keep your information in the “vault.”

5. Children’s Privacy

My recipes are for everyone, but my website is not intended for children under 16. I do not knowingly collect data from kids. If you’re a parent and think your child shared info with me, email me and I’ll delete it immediately.

6. Updates to This Policy

Just like I might tweak a recipe to make it better, I might update this policy from time to time to stay current with new laws. I’ll always update the date at the bottom of this page.

Got Questions?

If anything here feels confusing, or if you want to exercise your rights to see or delete your data, please reach out to me. I’m happy to chat!
